The Scottish Country Sports Tourism Group (SCSTG) has been awarded funding from the VisitScotland ‘Sector and Destination Operational and Market Readiness Fund’.
This fund was established to support pan-Scotland tourism sector groups whose role is critical to the ongoing success of the tourism industry to prepare for a post-COVID-19 environment.
There are many heroes in world of game cuisine… chefs & cooks, farmers’ market stalls, producers, restaurants, pubs, butchers, estate managers and retailers… but game is still not getting the recognition it deserves. Already in their second year, the national Eat Game Awards (EGA) are determined to change this. Now’s your chance to nominate those who ensure we get to enjoy this tasty, steeped-in-provenance, countryside fayre.* Nominations open to the public from 1 June here .
We are delighted to announce that we are holding our first ever SCSTG Auction, kindly sponsored by Bell Ingram, which will be launched at the Scottish Game Fair at Scone this weekend.
Great publicity for SCSTG in an article by Iona Laing of the GWCT in ‘The Scotsman’ following the success of our ‘Junior Macnab Challenge’ at the Scottish Game Fair last month – see https://bit.ly/2nkaT1L for the full story!
Well done to The Angus Glens Moorland Group (AGMG), who were awarded winners of the Conservation and Environment category at the Scottish Rural Awards ceremony earlier this week. AGMG was set up just three years ago with the intention of showcasing work and community life in remote Angus glens, and the award reflected the broad spectrum of their work.
SCSTG was pleased to welcome five European journalists on a press familiarisation trip to introduce them to some of the superb sport and accommodation that Scotland has to offer.
